The provided context does not contain information on playing mandolin sounds or installing MIDI on the Casio WK-1600.

However, based on general knowledge of similar keyboards:
- To access a specific instrument sound like a mandolin, you typically use the tone selection feature by entering a tone number or navigating through available sounds.
- To use MIDI, press the TUNE/MIDI button (labeled MIDI on the WK-1600/1630) and adjust settings as needed using the cursor keys and number keys.

For detailed steps, refer to the keyboard's manual.
